BREAKING: UK Parliament unanimously declares the Chinese government is committing a Genocide against Uyghurs.

The UK joins the US, Canada and the Netherlands in declaring a #UyghurGenocide.

This is the first time a genocide declaration has passed the UK Parliament unopposed.
#IPAC member and author of the motion @Nus_Ghani MP said:

“Today Parliament has spoken with one voice and called out the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal oppression of Uyghurs for what it is: a genocide... (1/2)
... The work does not stop here. We have a solemn obligation under the Genocide Convention to act to prevent further atrocities from taking place. History will not judge us kindly if we fail to do so.” (2/2)

BREAKING: Report finds crimes against humanity in Xinjiang.

A new report from @hrw finds the Chinese government has committed — and continues to commit — Crimes Against Humanity against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim groups.

Key findings below [THREAD]

hrw.org/report/2021/04…
[1] Enslavement

The forced labour of Turkic Muslims arbitrarily detained in political education facilities, as well as the automatic, involuntary transfer of “graduated” detainees to adjacent factories, amounts to the crime of enslavement.
[2] Imprisonment and Other Severe Deprivation of Physical Liberty

Chinese authorities have arbitrarily imprisoned up to one million Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang in political education camps. Others are being held arbitrarily in detention facilities and prisons.
